recommendations from its planning staff council banned office buildings on industrial extractive lands leaving the group with a virtually useless investment a source maintains leaving no alternative the group joined forces with st marys cement corporationcanadian building materials to start up the only viable permitted use left on the property batching in june 1990 the group learned that no building permit was necessary under the ontario building code to begin a batching operation since it involved equipment and machinery but no con struction by mid july the plant was underway on july 11 1990 however after sending two inaccurate stop work orders to the wrong owner the town ordered the site shut down because no building permit was obtained a source said on july 26 1990 the towns building department then laid three charges under the building code act but failed to appear in court the town again laid the same three charges shortly after but the judge threw those out of court because they had taken too long to come to trial documents show during this time the investors group attempt ed to work with the town and presented officials with a compromise during an incamera meeting on march 3 1992 sources say during the meeting the group proposed 12 assurances including offers to upgrade and update the towns deteriorating water system if the town repealed its bylaw the town told the group it would consider the proposals and get back to them it never did sources say after several further attempts to stop the operation the town filed an application with the court of justice in september 1992 on grounds once again that the operators began work without a building permit the town lost leaving a trail of legal bills and consultant fees behind last week ward 6 councillor ken prentice pointed to one of many borden elliot invoices the towns legal counsel for 1300 claiming the bills were mounting out of control and fisted no details in fact the town will likely pay about 30000 to its lawyer to fight the battle estimates indicate ken sandiford said this week the towns loss is sweet victory to him and his former business associates although they feel badly for taxpayers who are forced to foot the bill we tried in the best interest and in the best of faith to work with the town but the whole thing was treated so badly sandiford said sandiford said the taxpayers will see a lot more bills piled up when the smoke clears stouffville politicians will likely decide whether to appeal the judges nov 2 decision at an upcom ing incamera session photooom
